The Summer Teaching Institute will take place online via Zoom June 7th - 9th, 2022. This year's theme is “The First Year Experience,” with a focus on key impactful practices that aid students as they transition into university - a transition that is ever more critical given the learning experience in high schools during the pandemic AND in recognition that our second- and third-year students may have never been on campus. The staff of the Teaching Commons hope you will enjoy this year's offerings.

Registrants will gain access to:
- Digital Resources
- Slide Decks from Sessions
- And more

You will have full access to the mycourselink/D2L accompanying site on Friday, June 3rd.
